In my english class we were discussing the different groups that each person belongs to. So, I wrote a poem on one of the groups that I belong to: Roman Catholic. This shows the rules and guidelines of being a Catholic. Although, there are many rules to a religion, other groups such as a musical style, fashion sense, or even the political party a person belongs to has many rules (as observed in my english class). This poetic style is inspired by a poem written by Jamaica Kincaid called "Girl". It's a brand new style of poetry for me and I had a great time experimenting with it. It's not my favorite, but definitely unique.
